Zhou Shan was stunned at first, thinking that the little boy was scared, and was about to comfort him.
But Cheng Xinxin secretly tugged at the corner of his clothes, and then he realized that there were two gnawed corpses lying on the ground not far away, their shapes unrecognizable, but their clothes could still be vaguely identified.
Bi Ye looked at his parents lying on the ground with rapid breathing, whimpered, and his small body trembled violently, and the tears that were already flowing flowed even faster.
Qin Qing watched this scene in silence, then turned her head away silently. She no longer had the extra energy to pity the boy.
What she is thinking about now is how to get everyone away from here safely.
Looking at Li Xiong and Zhang Yong who were exhausted, Qin Qing hesitated for a moment and then made a decision.
She reached into her pocket and pretended to take out the crystal core, but in fact she took the crystal core out of the space.
Then he handed it to Li Xiong and said, "Brother Xiong, are you willing to try to absorb this crystal core first? I must make it clear in advance that no one can know whether there will be any adverse consequences after absorbing this crystal core. So, you must think carefully!"
"What's there to think about? At worst, I'll be a hero again in eighteen years." Li Xiong casually reached out and took the crystal core, then used his supernatural powers to slowly absorb the crystal core.
Li Xiong only felt a warm current flowing from the palm of his hand into his meridians, and then he clearly felt that his supernatural powers were being filled up bit by bit.
Every time he thought it was full, the place where his superpowers were stored seemed to be blown up like a balloon. When the crystal core was completely absorbed by him and turned into a pile of powder and fell to the ground, he could feel that his superpowers were more than twice as much as before.
Seeing Li Xiong leap up, looking full of energy, Qin Qing breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that this crystal core is indeed useful for people with special abilities, but it’s a pity that there is only one crystal core, and Zhang Yong’s physical strength has not recovered yet.
Everyone was very surprised to see Li Xiong's energetic look. Wang Xiaobao kept touching his body up and down, exclaiming in admiration!
Zhou Shan couldn't help but frown, and only after he pulled him aside did he calm down.
"Brother Xiong, how do you feel now?" Qin Qing asked.
Li Xiong patted his chest and said, "I feel full of energy. This is more effective than taking those tonics."
"This crystal core is so useful, but the base didn't tell anyone?" Li Xiong sighed slightly.
You know, countless people across the country have been injured by zombies. If this news gets out, many people won't have to die inexplicably.
But Li Xiong didn't know that everyone's physique is different, and the chance of developing superpowers after being scratched by a zombie is very small.
Those who have already awakened their superpowers have long been secretly taken into the base's possession. How could those who are vying for power and profit possibly share their secret weapons with everyone?
After listening to Qin Qing's explanation, everyone's originally joyful mood felt slightly suppressed.
"I hope everyone won't spread the news that we already know the secret of the crystal core, so as to avoid attracting the attention of the base." Qin Qing asked seriously.
"And everyone must improve their own strength before news of the crystal core spreads from the base."
No one thought twice and directly agreed with Qin Qing's statement. Putting aside other things, their lives were given by Qin Qing. Based on this point, as long as Qin Qing needed them to, they would go through fire and water without hesitation.
Qin Qing was very satisfied with everyone's reaction. After all, they were now a team, and if they could unite as one, she wouldn't mind making them hers.
After the mutated zombie just now, Qin Qing understood that, as the saying goes, a single tree cannot support a tree, and a single chopstick can easily break.
However, my initial idea of collecting a lot of supplies and then hiding in space was not practical.
Although she wants to live, it doesn't mean she wants to live alone in a world without humans and full of zombies.
If it is within her ability, there is nothing wrong with helping her teammates.
After spending some time together, she tried to believe that they would not be the second Zhao Chunze. Moreover, she would work hard to strengthen herself so that she would not be defeated so easily again.
"Zhang Yong's health is not yet fit to leave. Why don't you, Zhou Shan, and Wang Xiaobao stay to take care of him and Xinxin, while Brother Xiong and I go into the supermarket to explore the way ahead." Qin Qing said in a deep voice, glancing at the boy who was still crying silently.
She had seen too many young and cute children like this in the apocalypse. Even if she entered the base, the best she could do would be like the child named Sixteen who was in the base before.
The most tragic thing is either being treated like an animal or becoming food for zombies.
Zhou Shan, who always had a sullen face, nodded in agreement when he heard Qin Qing say this. However, he secretly glanced at the boy. Qin Qing didn't seem to have mentioned how to deal with him, so he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.
Hesitantly asked, "Then what should he do?"
"What do you think... we should do?" Qin Qing looked coldly at the boy who was listening to them with his ears perked up.
He asked expressionlessly, "You want to take him back to the base? Zhou Shan, I've always thought you were the calmest and most rational of all. Now that Zhang Yong's body is paralyzed, can you guarantee that you can bring so many people, including a child like him who might scream at any moment and has no ability to protect himself, back to the base safely?"
Cheng Xinxin had been very calm since she came with everyone, not at all like a child. That was why Qin Qing allowed her to come with them.
This boy could only cry after seeing the bodies of his parents. If he encountered zombies and screamed, it would drag down everyone. He didn't want to bear the responsibility for such an unknown possibility.
"We will encounter people who are thousands of times more miserable than him in the future. If you save everyone you see in the future, it's better to break up now. Whoever you want to save, or how many people you save, will have nothing to do with me."
At this point, Qin Qing's words gradually became sharper.
Zhou Shan broke out in a cold sweat after hearing Qin Qing's words. He had indeed been reckless. Seeing the child's expression of wanting to live just now touched a soft spot in his heart.
That's why I wanted to help this little boy.
Bi Ye listened intently at first, but he finally understood that this woman didn't want to save him. He raised his tear-stained face and forcefully wiped away the tears.
"I won't yell, and I will help you kill these monsters. I... I have learned Taekwondo since I was a child, and I am very strong. Can you please not leave me?" Bi Ye choked with red eyes.
Thinking about how he didn't want to learn Taekwondo in the beginning and it was his parents who forced him to learn it, he couldn't help but shed tears, but he quickly raised his arm to wipe them away, fearing that Qin Qing would be disgusted if he saw them.
